The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 17

After the departure of Ria and Rico, now Ira and Marco also want to say goodbye because they have business affairs that can not be left alone.

"I'm sorry Mama, honey. When Mama's business is done, Mama will be here again. You don't worry about it" Ira said, hugging Jinan's body.

"It's okay, Ma. 'There's Elena here. Isn't it El?" jinan asked Elena and replied to a nod Elena who was eating her breakfast on the sofa.

"Yaudah Mama stay first, baby. Baby Ay, Oma and Opa go first huh, honey. Don't be naughty during Oma's stay, let Mama you can rest, okay," Ira told Baby Ay.

"Ready, Oma," said Jinan by mimicking the voice of a child.

"El, take care of your brother. Don't play on the phone, "Ira's message to her daughter who is staring at the phone screen.

Even Elena looked at her mother annoyed. Not even half an hour touching the flat object, it can be satire only.

"The protective basis," Elena's inner.

"We're leaving, Ji," said Marco before they left the room.

Shortly after the departure of Ira and Marco, Jinan grabbed his phone on the nightstand. He photographed his daughter who was deliberately called baby Ay, and sent the picture to Romi with a few short sentences containing information as promised a few months ago.

"What's wrong, Ji?" elena asked who was suddenly beside him.

Jinan, who was shocked by Elena's presence next to her, almost dropped her phone from her hand. 

"Jeez El, you've got it" Jinan said as she rubbed her chest.

"Sorry, Ji. You are focused on the same mobile phone, so I'm already here you are not aware," said Elena using Indonesian language that is still thick with western accents.

"What the hell is that?" elena asked as she sat her body beside Jinan's sleeping pillow. Right next to the baby box belonging to baby Ay.

"Em, I'm sending baby Ay's picture to her father" Jinan said, showing her phone screen showing the contents of a chat room with Romi.

Elena looked at Jinan in surprise. So all this time Jinan was still in touch with her ex-husband, Elena thought.

"Are you still in touch with your ex-husband, Ji?" asked Elena in an unpleasant tone.

"Why?" jinan asked confused about how to talk and the look on Elena's face that suddenly turned serious.

"I don't like it when you refer to that baj1ngan guy, Ji. You've been thought of as our own sister, and we won't approve of your second marriage" Elena said.

Jinan held back her laughter at Elena's ridiculous remark.

"Who wants to get married again, El? Oh, my God, you're so funny."

"So, aren't you going to remarry that man?" ask Elena to make sure.

"No. I just sent baby Ay's picture to her. I promised I'd send you a picture of our son if I could. However, Romi deserves to know the presence of his baby. Although I don't know if he will accept this child as his son or not, I certainly can't keep this child away from his biological father."

Elena looked at Jinan intensely, she did not know she wanted to judge Jinan as a kind-hearted or stupid woman. If she was in the position of Jinan, maybe she would hide this child as far as possible from br3ngsek men like her ex-husband.

But it's a pity because right now he's not Jinan. And as for their personal affairs, it was up to the woman to do only, Jinan had freedom of action. Most importantly, Jinan did not do anything stupid that might harm himself.

"Oh yes, Ji. Em, right now, we're just the two of us here" Elena said by switching the conversation about Jinan's ex-husband.

"Yes?" Jinan raised both eyebrows as Elena paused her speech.

"Em, tell dong the full name of baby Ay," Elena said with a steed.

"No way," Jinan said quickly.

Jinan had indeed prepared a full name for her little princess, but she had not told everyone, including Ria and her family. Even Romi as his biological father does not tell Jinan even though it is just a first name like 'Ay' which is often called Elena and others. Jinan has decided to announce the full name of his son after he returned from the hospital alone, as well as discuss the aqiqah date for his daughter later.

Elena was shaking her lips. "Please" Elena said with a blink of her eyes. "You know dong, Jinan. Promise, I won't leak," Elena said, brandishing her middle and index fingers to form the letter V.

"No, yes no, Elena. You have to wait until tomorrow comes. Tomorrow I'll be able to go home by the doctor, and I'll announce baby Ay's name tomorrow at home. We had dinner with the kids at the restaurant. Special welcome baby Ay, I'll put the restaurant away one full day."

Elena let out a disappointed breath. Though he had hoped for an answer from Jinan, but Jinan seemed to be very firm with his stance. Waiting for tomorrow won't make it like waiting for a year.

The cry of baby Ay stopped the conversation of Jinan and Elena. Slowly and with Elena's help, Jinan begins to allow her body to reach for baby Ay who is in the baby box to breastfeed. Luckily she used to be an impromptu baby sitter for her nieces, so Jinan wasn't too awkward to hold a baby.

After baby Ay is satisfied eating her food, Elena asks Jinan for permission to try to hold the tiny baby. It was quite difficult because this was the first for Elena, but because Jinan was patiently teaching her, finally the beautiful woman managed to hold the tiny baby despite still feeling nervous.

While watching Elena who was holding her child, Jinan tried to check her phone. Who knows there was a reply from Romi to the message earlier. But unfortunately, it turns out Romi only saw the message without the intention to reply even though only congratulations on the delivery.

Jinan sighed. "Is it this hard to be good?" inner Jinan.

...

At 14:03 in Jinan's ward.

Shink ... tookkk ...

"Come in" cried Jinan from the top of his bed.

When the door opened, the figure of Ria and Rico who had just returned from his restaurant. Jinan stared questioningly at the look of serious and tired faces on the faces of the two brothers.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem at the restaurant?" jinan asked directly before the two men sat down on her body.

Ria and Rico looked at each other before answering Jinan's question. They like code each other to ask their opponents to immediately answer Jinan's question.

"Why are you? Is the restaurant as quiet as yesterday? Or ... nobody comes to eat there from morning?" jinan asked. He sighed, it seemed like he would completely close the restaurant as soon as possible before he suffered such a drastic loss.

"Today's restaurant is closed, sister," said Ria uninspired after sitting her body on the sofa beside Elena.

Jinan frowned in surprise. "Why should it be closed, Ri? Open it up papa. Who knows if there's one or two people who want to eat there."

Ria did not answer Jinan's words, she glanced at Rico doubtfully. While Rico just sighed while leaning his body on the back of the sofa by closing his eyes. He could not bear to tell Jinan about the incident that hit the woman's restaurant today.

"What the hell is that? Why are you so scared, Ri?" jinan asked curious about the behavior of the two brothers.

Ria got up from her seat, she walked over to Jinan with a doubtful look on her face.

"What's up, Ri?" jinan asked again after Ria sat beside her bed.

"Bakar Restaurant. Em, Sister's restaurant is being terrorized," Ria said with her eyes closed.

Jinan widened her eyes. "Diterors? Terrorized how do you mean, Ri?"

The similarly shocked Elena walked quickly over to Jinan and Ria.

"Almost the whole floor in the restaurant is full of blood, Brother. Brother Rico said, it's long-rotting human blood."

Jinan smothered her mouth with both of her palms. "Astaghfirullah," muttered Jinan softly. Her tears are now pouring down her cheeks.

"Gosh," said Elena no less shocked by Ria's words.

"Who did it all, Ri? Have you guys reported to the police? Why are you telling me now?" jinan asked with a sobbing that could not be held back.

Elena took a seat next to Jinan, rubbing her shoulder just to calm her down even though she herself began to fear what was happening at Jinan's restaurant.

"The first time Brother's employees saw the situation, they went straight outside the restaurant. They did not even dare to enter. Until the moment we came, then we all went inside and locked the door and the restaurant tray from inside so as not to create a furore for those who saw it. Brother Rico said, all this was a deliberate act by an underground man. Danger if we get to the police."

"The underground?" jinan asked confusedly.

"People who play in the dark world, brother. A class of mafia or so," said Ria by biting her lower lip.

"Huh? How could? Brother doesn't even know anyone here, Ri. You know that, right? How could there be such a person who deliberately terrorized Brother's restaurant? That is impossible" said Jinan did not believe Ria's words.

"Maybe they've got the wrong target?" chirp Elena suddenly.
